Lighthouse

What You’ll Create: We have a full day to ensure we don't rush the intricate details that make a lighthouse so special:

• The Morning (Construction): We will spend the morning using slab-building techniques to construct the main tower of the lighthouse and the clever removable top. The top is designed specifically to hold a tealight or a small set of battery-operated lights, allowing your creation to actually "glow" from the lantern room.

• The Afternoon (Detailing & Colour): Once the structure is sound, we’ll move on to the fun part! You’ll have plenty of time to customise your lighthouse using some sprig moulds to create tiny shells and anchors, or add detailed stonework etc. Finally, we will use underglazes to paint directly onto the wet clay, allowing you to add classic stripes, weathered effects, or vibrant coastal colours.

Complexity Levels 4-5: The Crafter

This full-day session is designed for those who enjoy a detailed project. While I will guide you through every stage with live demonstrations, the construction and fine detail work make this a rewarding challenge for ambitious beginners and more experienced potters alike.
